The Age of Linen Paper.

According to Wehrs, the oldest known specimen of linen paper extant is a document written A. D. 1908 This was probably made as early as 1900. Indeed, many leading historical writers concur in that date. Wehrs supposes that in making paper, linen rags were either by accident or through design, at first mixed with cotton rags, so as to produce paper which was partly linen and partly cotton, and that this led by degrees to the manu- facture of paper from linen only. He also claims the honor for Germany. But Schonemann gives that distinction to Italy, because there, in the district of Ancona, considerable manufacture of cotton paper was carried on before the fourteenth century -. Inland Printer. H'

GRASS AND STOCK.
Hhy Fertility and Cattle Raising Must of
 Necessity Go Together.

Hhy Fertility and Cattle Raising Must of
 Necessity Go Together.
 To very considerable extent the amount of grass that can be raised upon the farm determines the number of stock that can be proftably kept, so that obtaining large yields of grass is at least very considerable aid to- ward keeping a large number of stock. think 1 am safe in saying that other things being equal, the larger the number of stock kept upon a farm the richer we can make the soil, and it follows that the richer the soil the more feed we can raise.
 And it is just as essential to secure large crops of grass, both for the stock in the pastures, and to be cut and saved as hay in the meadows. Both are important, and one of the essen- tials necessary to secure large yield of grass is rich soil.
 While there is no question but that land can often be seeded down to pasture that can not be prolitably cul- tivated, yet this is no indication that in more fertile land much better pasture should not be secure. It is natural to suppose that land which is rocky or in condition from any other cause so that it could not be profitably cultivated would not make as good a pasture-furnish as large a supply of food-as land that could be properly prepared( and seeded down and that was sufficiently fertile to induce a vigorous growth.
 And the same may be said of meadow land that has been in cultivation until the supply of plant food is in a great measure exhausted, as we can see that it fails to produce profitable crops if seeded down and will not give us proportionately larger crop of grass than of any thing else.
 The real fact is that if we expect to secure a good growth of grass we must supply the necessary supply of plant food. In other words, we must make the soil rich. And the keeping of stock, if properly managed, is the most valuable aid we can secure; for this purpose we must feed all the stock we can in order 10 make the soil rich, and thus secure the best yields possible in order to be able to feed the largest number of stock.
 The two must of necessity go to- gether. We must feed the stock as economically as possible, and yet they must be kept in a good condition. It is not often that the farmer can afford to purchase any considerable amount of feed. He must rely on what is raised on the farm, and if we keep all the stock that farm will carry. and are try ing 10 increase the number, we must save and apply the manure, prepare and seed properly, so that the .argest yield possible will be secured. We must secure the yield before we can feed the stock.-M I Shepherd, n ArRericGn DairynsdTs,

FLOWERS FOR PERFUMES.
How Roses Are Grown and Gathered fo
 CommerciaI Purnnses.

How Roses Are Grown and Gathered for
 Commercial Purposes.
 One essential principle in perfume culture is that all fancy and ''im- proved" varieties of flowers are dis carded, and the natural, simple, old fashioned kind are exclusively grown. The roses grown are the common pink ones. The single wild violet is pre- ferred to all the larger artiiciaIly de- veloped varieties, and not a double tuberose is to be seen on any farm. Only the white jasmine is used, the yell low and less fragant variety being either discarded or unknown. The jasmine plants are set in rows about ten inches apart, and are closely pruned every year. Roses are grown on the lower terraces, and are likewise cut low, and the ground between the trees heavily manured. After the roses have been gathered the stem is cut to within a few inches of the ground. so as to conserve for the next season the entire vigor of the plant. During the harvest season traders or middlemen go through the country every day with wagons collecting flowers from the farms, for which they pay prices vary ing according to the extent of the crop and the demands of the market Their fragrant load is hurried to the nearest manufacturer and delivered while the flowers are still fresh and crisp. It is necessary that the flowers should be gathered in the morning as soon as possible after the dews of the preced- ing night have disappeared. In many cases laboratories are erected on the flower farm itself, and if the farm is of sufficient size this adds very much to the profits. Chambers ,IournGL

Good health, good morals, good sense and good ter;per. are the four essentials for a good wife. These are the indispensables. After them come the minor advantages of good looks, accomplishments, family posi- Sion, etc. With the first four, married life will be comfortable and happy. Lacking either, it will be in more or less degree a failure.

LAVISH HOSPITALITY.
Why MT. Kaufman Was Pleased With His
 r Visit to San Frardisco

'Aotb w san EraECisCO.
 l am not surrrised that California haS such Nne reputation for hospi- tal'ty. There is one man gone back to Cincinnati from San Francisco fully persuaded that the Californians are the most kindly, generous people under the sun. A worthy gentleman of this city while in England last year was the recipient of very kindly atten- tions from an Australian he met there named, we'll say Kaufman. He had been informed that M:. Kaufman would pass through San Francisco en route for Australia, and a few days ago he read in the paper as guest at a prominent hotel the names of A. Kaufman and wife. He proceeded with all due haste to pay his compli- ments Go them. He went up to the clerk.
 '.Is Mr. Kaufman of London hereP"
 ''736," said the clerk without mo- ment's hesitation.
 "Mr A Kaufman, of London?"
 ''736. Frontr'
 And with that ineffable grandeur with which only hotel clerk can dag gle you, he waved the colored gentle man up toward the roof with the gen. tleman's card. Somewhere about a week passed, and the boy returned.
 "736 not in"
 My friend went to a florists and had a handsome basket of flowers sent to 7S6. He went to the market and had the finest fruit he could buy carefully packed up to Mrs, Kaufman, 736. Next day had gone and no note or message came from his friend. He went up to the hotel again.
 ''Is MT. Kaufman, of London, in?"
 "736. Frontr again without q wink.
 And Front took the card and disap- peared. In about ten days the boy came down stairs again and said:
 "736 not in"
 My friend went on to his store and had some fine wine sent up to 736. Somebody brought him in a wonderful rose grown in hothouse in Oakland description need not further go. He called messenger and sent up this elegant rose to his friends wife, Next day went by and no note, no message. He waited another day and then he went up to the hotel.
 "Mr. Kaufman, of London, inP'

 And Front disappeared again with another card.

 Presently stout German gentleman whom my friend had not known came up to him.

 "Then you got them all?'
 "Yaas; and my wife was crazy about that big rose-I never see such rose. You was kind people in California. Joost for a leetle kindness to the Knights Templar boys"
